  1. I like Bendix and the overall strategy he has that is tailored to the Marlins specific circumstances. The MLB ecosystem will presumably change, so we will see how Bendix adapts. More resources should be exponentially better for the team. All that said, other than a live question format, Bendix's press conferences might be more easily consumed in a bullet point press release.
  2. Thanks for another season of comprehensive coverage.
  3. I'm not watching the playoff no interest. Certainly, though, any team but the Dodgers would be welcome for the good of the sport. Perhaps this is the year the Rays get off the shneid.
  4. Why expect any strategic moves until the CBA sets a framework for such planning? I figure there will be no season anyway. No hurry.
  5. He's a solid contributor in key situations. Versatile. Inexpensive. Perfect Marlins player. Enjoy watching him perform.
  6. What are we thinking for a September record, given its strength. I believe it is 24 games, so thinking nine or ten wins would be realistic. Of course, to attain the last WC slot, the Fish need an unlikely spectacular record against the highly-focused team on the slate.
  7. The old September call-ups were more fun - seven or eight guys just enjoying the closing month of the season in the Majors.
  8. September looks very tough. The Marlins need the Monday wrap-around game badly to slingshot them into the last month of the season with a bit of momentum. Another big-time pothole if Edwards is placed on the IL - hope not.
  9. Howdy. No, sir. I'm originally from Kentucky, but became an Expos fan as a pre-teen after watching them as a new expansion team against the Reds in Cincinnati. I do love an underdog, so the Marlins fit right in! Hope all is well. Cheers.
  10. I like reading these accounts of the Marlins' history, almost all of which I don't recall, as a latecomer to Fish fandom (2021). I also dropped MLB for fifteen years entirely after the Expos left Montréal following the 2004 season. Indeed, I don't know about most of the players whose careers fall inside my self-imposed baseball interregnum. After the 2019 Washington Nationals championship season that I followed with my late friend, the pandemic season followed. I eschewed all of that ridiculousness entirely. Living mostly in Jacksonville at that time, the Jumbo Shrimp (Suns) had brought back some of my interest through the minor league game. I also blame much of my lameness at FOF Jeopardy on all of this (and I am sticking to that defense)! Thanks for the lookback snapshots.
  11. MLB can't get of its own way. We watched nearly 1000 missed pitches last week. But...only two challenges that must be meted out strategically, while the entire viewing world sees the impact errors. Games, though, are nevertheless played with overt errors. Replay is often a sad joke. Do we even need to state what the upcoming CBA will produce? The two sides are drawing irreconcilable lines in the sand. Think there will be baseball in 2027? Where do you think the compromise will be that over half the league can swallow and still survive in any realistic, competitive way?
